What a fantastic sweet potato casserole recipe. There is not a lot of sugar or seasonings in the sweet potato part, so the flavor of the potatoes shines. It’s made with canned sweet potatoes, but fresh could easily be substituted. The sweetness comes into the recipe with the crunchy pecan topping. Sweet and rich, it’s just right spread on top. The topping does make this a bit rich so a small serving goes a long way. A divine addition to your holiday feast.
